Title: Direct RF sampling for cable applications and other broadband signals
Inventor: SASSON NIR
IPC: G06F17/10
Filed: 2004-06-01
Abstract: A sampling method implements direct RF sampling of the down-stream DOCSIS and Euro-DOCSIS cable plant signals present at the customer premises equipment (CPE). The method involves dividing a real RF input signal range into a plurality of regions having equal frequency ranges; ```sampling and holding the RF input signal in discrete time to provide a periodic extension of the original signal spectrum; ```and then selectively translating, filtering and decimating the sampled input. An input signal (Fig 1(a)) is processed to yield an output signal (Fig(f)) at a described sampling rate.

Title: Gas mixing system for an ion source
Inventor: MEFFAN-MAIN SIMON
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2005-10-11
Abstract: A gas mixing system is used to mix an analyte gas with a carrier gas before ionization of the mixed gas. The ionized mixed gas may then be supplied to a mass spectrometer. A discrete volume 21 of a sample gas is supplied at a first, relatively low pressure to a mixing chamber 37. A mixer gas 18 at a higher pressure is mixed with the sample gas in the mixing chamber 37.

Title: Time-varying data communication using neural networks supplied with parameters
Inventor: DODGSON TERENCE EDWIN
IPC: H04L27/00
Filed: 2003-02-18
Abstract: Time-dependent data is coded and modulated by a neural network comprising multi-layer perceptrons (MLP). For each extended neuron (120) in a layer (302, fig.8), serial in parallel out (SIPO) buffers (122) allow previous inputs and outputs to model the function as well as present ones, and these gates are cyclically blocked or opened according to a switching control word. The output from the entire extended neuron is similarly controlled by a timing control waveform (350, fig.8). These control signals specifying which neurons are on or off at a given time determine whether the system is in training mode or running mode. Different channel coding, compression coding, modulation (eg. QPSK) or demodulation (eg. Viterbi) schemes can be emulated or "learned" by different parts of the neural network by having new parameters sent to different neuron layers, allowing a transceiver comprising such a network to act as a "software radio".

Title: Method of interpreting well data
Inventor: WOOD RACHEL
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2006-03-29
Abstract: A method of evaluating a formation penetrated by one or more wellbores comprises the steps of measuring first and second formation properties as well signatures, determining a divergence between the well signatures and determining whether the divergence is indicative of the presence of a diagenetic surface or layer in the formation. One of the measured properties is sensitive to the effects of primary deposition processes of the formation (e.g. a gamma ray log) and the other is sensitive to the effects of diagenetic processes (e.g. density, porosity, pore size or permeability). The existence of a diagenetic surface may be validated using core data. Following detection of the diagenetic surface, the surface position may be correlated across a larger area using measurements from other wells.

Title: Monitoring accesses to a region of memory
Inventor: NEWBURN CHRIS J
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A technique to detect and filter accesses to a region of memory using a combination of hardware logic and software instructions, where one or more scenarios monitor various memory accesses within a software program. A sentinel instruction may be inserted prior, in program order, to an instruction or group of instructions that are to access a memory region, and when executed may cause a corresponding channel or channels within the processor or other processor to perform various comparison operations on information associated with the instructions performed subsequent to the sentinel instruction. If a condition that has been programmed into the channels is satisfied then the condition may trigger a fault-like yield event for a handler to perform one or more functions. The performance of a thread of instructions may be modified according to a profile of information generated in response to monitoring the access to a memory region.
